Former First Lady Nancy Reagan died of congestive heart failure at the age of 94 Sunday. She died at her home in Los Angeles, California, and this month she will be buried next to her husband, former President Ronald Reagan, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

Nancy Reagan was born on July 6, 1921 in New York. She met her husband in 1951, and they married in 1952. They had been married for 52 years at the time of Ronald's death in 2004. The Reagans had two children of their own, and Nancy was the stepmother to two children from Ronald's previous marriage.

Nancy Reagan was known for the elegant style that she brought to the White House, as well as her work on important initiatives like the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign. During a statement Sunday, President Obama said that Nancy "redefined the role" of First Lady. She even helped to hire and fire employees involved in her husband's campaigns.

Below, take a look at Reagan's life over the years.
